I know hitler was mad and evil...but do you think...?

Question

I KNOW he was mad and evil I KNOW!
but do you think history has made his ideas to be more mad then they were?
E.G. doesn't his idea of Ethnic seperation (one race to one place) actually make sense in some way? Is there not logic to it?
I mean, THINK ABOUT IT- wasn't there actually logic to SOME of his ideas?
If this idea took hold then there would be no trouble in say, Israel.
And also why does history say that he hated Black people (Americans say that he was DISGUSTED seeing black Jesse Owens win a race at the 1936 Berlin Olympics).
I know he hated GROUPS of people (like gypsies and homosexuals and of course jews), but not ethnic races.
+just to add. there was a LOT more racism back then, then there is now. I mean the 'heroic' America did not even let Black People Vote and their rights were very restricted.
How could America say it wanted to help the jews when this was happening to Black people in their own country.
And may i just say again- i am no supporter of evil Hitler!

Answer 1

No, you've got it muddled up. There was a very famous boxing match between a Black American and a White Nazi, it was about superioruty and Hitler was not amused that the Black guy won. He also hated the Spanish and claimed they were inferior; he claimed the Aryans as superior. Aryans were white. Do you get it yet?
Isn't a lot of the problems in the world cause by the seperatist mentality? And who are you to tell me that I cannot live among or know Black people? Or to tell them that they can't live here? What about people of mixed race, where do they go?
You keep asking this same question, but don't seem clear about your own motives. Don't keep going on at people to "think about it" as if we haven't already done so.
Maybe we think the way we do because we have thought about it, stop being so insulting.
Your question is very muddled and the only thing you seem to be clearly in favour of is segregation.

Answer 2

Mad? Probably but unprovable. Evil? I'll leave that judgement to the non-judgemental religious types who believe in evil. For sure he was a complete c**t but he did what he did after years of build up and with the support of the German people as his anti-Semitic policies and ideas filtered down to the public in the years prior to the holocaust - a public willing to go along and in no way thinking the guy was either mad or evil (in the beginning). The German people spun the wheels of the Hitler machine and by the time it was apparent that Hitler was leading them to destruction, the whole war thing had started in earnest and they were at the mercy of the military. Yet still the fires burned in the concentration camps. History does distort the truth but not over the basic wrongness of the 3rd Reich ambition for Europe.

Answer 3

Hitler was a charismatic guy who knew how to whip up a crowd and get it going and going. Once the juggernaut started to move it was very hard to stop it.

Hitler started, as an orator, by inciting hatred. Do you actually think he would have been able to get started if he had been extolling the virtues of living together in peace and harmony? I don't think so; Hitler was simply one of the best at fanning the embers that were already there. Germany was suffering, and most people look to place blame for thier misfortunes on others. As he was charismatic and willing to go quite far in his speeches, he gathered the more receptive part of German society and this dragged more and more people in as the Hitlerite movement grew.

I am sure some of his ideas are still being used today, such as have resources devoted to propaganda. His invetsments in science have also generated great advancements in jet engines for example.

However, I think 'one race to one place' is too much of a departure from what the world is. If you think about it, it used to be 'one race on place' but we found that mixing around and learning from each other brought on more rewards to everyone. However there are and will be teething problems.

Secondly, nowadays, it isn't so much race as religion that seems to be causing trouble. The trouble are caused by a minority since most of us live in peace together. It will take time but the extremist minorities will die off. If you think about extremism in Islam for example, remember Islam is a young religion. Chirstianity/Catholicism has had centuries to pursue its excesses (forced conversion, killing in the name of God... ).

We are unlucky, if you will, to live when an extremist section of a major religion is going through its extremism phase, but that doesn't mean that we have to have 'one place one race' or 'one place one religion'.

Answer 4

Most people are caught up in emotions or by the 'lemming' principle to actually objectively look at Hitler's ideas and policies.

They remember him for the Holocaust, they do not remember he totally rebuilt the German economy in 5 years. Stalin killed way more people, but because Hitler's purge was more focused on one group of people, Hitler is vilified much more. That, and the fact that Stalin was an Ally and one of the 'good guys' in WWII.

I am not a Hitler supporter, either, but I can objectively say that he was a brilliant, charismatic leader who simply had misguided ideas.

Here's a counterquestion. What could Hitler have accomplished with all of his talents had he not been so bent on world domination?

Answer 5

I agree with you that America had their own problems, including vile treatment of blacks, a refusal to accept Jewish refugees even though it was clear their lives were in danger, internment of Japanese and Japanese Americans without regard to their allegiance, and vile treatment of Indians. On the other hand, of course, America didn't systematically massacre eleven million people.

However, I *disagree*, strongly, that "races" should be kept separate. In the first place, 'race' is a false and artificial concept.It can be proved that most if not all of us are a mixture of white, black, and any other 'race' you care to name.

What we *need*, to prevent more trouble, is to eradicate such illogical thinking as believing in 'race' as some 'pure' thing when it is in fact merely a description of what a person looks like. And we *need* to oppose and eradicate hatred and bigotry in all its forms.

And, by the way, history says he hated black people because when Jesse Owens won, he took it calmly. In essence, he felt it meant nothing that an "animal" had won; I believe the comparison he made was with a cheetah, saying it would prove nothing if a cheetah were to defeat an "Aryan superman".

NOTE: IN THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH, I AM REPORTING HITLER'S COMMENTS, AS I UNDERSTAND THEM TO HAVE BEEN. I DO *NOT* AGREE WITH THEM! Actually, they make me want to puke, but they are the reason history says Hitler hated blacks.

Finally, if there is any logical distinction between "groups" and "ethnic races", I have yet to discover it. See my comments on the concept of race above. I believe your motives may be good, but please learn more about these things before forming such potentially harmful opinions.

As for the idea that he somehow "rebuilt" Germany's economy, anyone who knows the economic history of that time and place is aware that the Nazi "miracle" was actually based on legalised scams that could not have continued - they *needed* to go to war to keep their economy humming.

Answer 6

Hitlers idea's made a bunch of sense to a whole lot of people. That is how he was able to come to power so quickly. Not many knew of his hidden dark side, or preferred to look the other way.
FYI, Black Americans have had the right to vote since 1870. The voting rights act of 1965 was just there to reinforce the 15th Amendment to the constitution.

Answer 7

in the situations of economic recession, there are continually those who advise that eliminating one minority crew from society will enable the unemployed to attain artwork. in the 1930's, the recession replaced into quite undesirable, rather in Germany. Hitler got here to means with the help of many large agencies, rather in the U. S., who knew completely nicely what he deliberate to do (they likely even helped plan the conflict). effectively, US militia workers were killed with the help of a militia that replaced into funded with the help of the U. S.. this custom retains to at present. Society necessary regenerating in the 1930's, conflict creates a large employment means, and inhabitants develop area. Hitler purely had a job to do, which he did o.k.. The deaths of fifty million people isn't some thing to the capitalists, compared to suffering decrease income margins. i'm afraid that it is how freedom works. for sure, all different appreciably extra benign possibilities to operating society are mocked for ever and ever with the help of the media to persuade the international's populations that it is practically as good because it receives. i think sorry for all those who thinks that capitalism is a few thing except the most evil creation the human race has ever produced. notwithstanding, capitalism replaced into necessary to strengthen the technique of production, yet, even as the revolution situations arrived, 1910 onwards, those on correct of issues had too a lot means and people, to at present, are slaughtered of their thousands and thousands in accordance to annum to shop the wealthy wealthy. I favor to God that i replaced into incorrect.

Answer 8

America wanted to help because Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, and once they got in with Japan, it's sort of like, "Well, there's also the Holocaust going on, since we're already in with Japan, we might as well do what we've been thinking about doing and help out."

Also, to another answerer, Hitler was heterosexual. He married actress Eva Braun roughly 19 hours before they committed suicide.

Answer 9

Eugenics was very popular in the inter-war years in Europe and the US. 'Undesirables' who could perpetuate weaknesses in the race were routinely castrated. But of course, when you win a war, you can rewrite history and sweep little details like that under the carpet.

Answer 10
